So you're not really sure it's the ARC growing, but only that the kernel
is growing
to 6.8GB.
Print the arc values via mdb:
# mdb -k

This seems a bit strange. What's the workload, and also, what's the
output for:
ARC_mru::print size lsize
ARC_mfu::print size lsize
and
ARC_anon::print size
For obvious reasons, the ARC can't evict buffers that are in use.
Buffers that are available to be evicted should be on the mru or mfu
Gar. This isn't what I was hoping to see. Buffers that aren't
available for eviction aren't listed in the lsize count. It looks like
the MRU has grown to 10Gb and most of this could be successfully
evicted.
The calculation for determining if we evict from the MRU is in
arc_adjust() and looks
Something else to consider, depending upon how you set arc_c_max, you
may just want to set arc_c and arc_p at the same time. If you try
setting arc_c_max, and then setting arc_c to arc_c_max, and then set
arc_p to arc_c / 2, do you still get this problem?

How/when did you configure arc_c_max?
Immediately following a reboot, I set arc.c_max using mdb,
then verified reading the arc structure again.
arc.p is supposed to be
initialized to half of arc.c. Also, I assume that there's a reliable
test case for reproducing this problem?
Yep. I'm
I suppose I should have been more forward about making my last point.
If the arc_c_max isn't set in /etc/system, I don't believe that the ARC
will initialize arc.p to the correct value. I could be wrong about
this; however, next time you set c_max, set c to the same value as c_max
and set p to
